The Yosemite Valley, from the Mariposa Trail, View of the Yosemite Valley, photograph, page, number: 'I.', photographer: Carleton E. Watkins, Yosemite Valley, c. 1860 - in or before 1868, North America, California, paper, albumen print, height 155 mm x width 205 mm, mountains, dale, valley, A sepia-toned landscape photograph showing a wide valley framed by steep rock cliffs and rounded granite formations, with a dense forest of coniferous trees filling the valley floor. One tall cliff on the left rises nearly vertically with striated rock faces and a sloping base, while opposite on the right there are layered rocky outcrops and a narrow waterfall cascading down a dark rock face. Mist or low clouds hang between the distant ridges, softening the outlines of the mountains, and the image has a faded, aged appearance with light mottling and uneven tonality across the sky and rock surfaces.
